Core Tip In this study we investigated the plasma amino acid response to standard and high protein meals in patients with liver cirrhosis and looked for evidence of protein intolerance by testing for the presence of either covert or overt hepatic encephalopathy. We sought to improve on previous methodology by selecting a more homogeneous group of patients with biopsy proven cirrhosis, and by using natural mixed protein meals at two protein levels: A standard (20 g) meal and a high (1 g/kg per body weight) protein meal. We found small differences in the plasma amino acid changes after the standard protein meal but there were marked increments in most amino acids after the high protein meal. Noteworthy no patient showed overt clinical sings of encephalopathy and minor electroencephalo-graph changes were seen in only one patient after the high protein meal. These results present experimental evidence to support current nutritional guidelines for patients with cirrhosis.
